"Kryvbas" - "Kudrivka" 3:1

In the 8th round of the UPL, Kryvbas hosted the debutant of the competition, Kudrivka. Note: The Club's Ultras returned to the stands of the Hirnyk stadium, having organized a spectacular fireshow before the start of the match.

First half

The beginning of the match was left to the hosts. Kryvbas could have scored twice after sharp flank passes, but our players were slightly ahead of the red-and-white goalkeeper Lyopka. And later we managed to score a quick goal. After Zaderaka's pass, Bekavac could have scored, but the ball bounced to Tverdokhlib, who hit the empty net - 1:0.

True, a few minutes before that, Kozak could have scored, but he missed the goal from the second floor. Kryvbas had the advantage and created chances, Kudrivka sometimes responded. After Araujo's shot from mid-range, the guests were saved by Lopka, and after a counterattack, Tverdokhlib almost missed a pass from Paraco.

Second half

After the break, the game pattern did not change. Kryvyi Rih controlled the course of events on the field, although the opponent played quite well on counterattacks. In the 61st minute, Mendoza miraculously missed the far corner after a quick lunge from a super position - above the goal. Substitutions were made, which somewhat slowed down the pace of the game.

Later, Kryvbas did turn their advantage into a second goal. Mulyk, who came on as a substitute, passed the ball in the penalty area to Mendoza, who scored his fourth goal of the UPL season with a signature shot and equalized with Tverdokhlib - 3:1. But only for a while. Immediately, Gleiker managed an accurate low shot! 3:0.

Our team made three substitutions. It should be noted that Dibango appeared on the field for the first time after a serious injury! Welcome back, Yvan! But that wasn't all. The opponent quickly played the ball after the missed goal, and immediately Dumanyuk shot at the goal from the center of the field. The ball crossed the line with a ricochet from Kemkin, who, apparently, was injured after falling - 3:1. Health, Oleksandr!

We are playing with the powerful support of the stands. Thank you!
